The 35% of the vacant lots and abandon buildings is Detroit's Ghettohoods are the cause of these people problems.
1. White flight and ecomonic flight
2. Real estate practices of REDLINING blacks when they start to move further into once white Detroit neighborhoods. For example in the 1960s, real estate brokers hire black kids to ride their bikes through a particular mostly white Detroit neighborhoods. Just to get white homeowners to sell their homes to blacks and steer them to the suburbs.
3. The 1967 riots
4. Landlords and slumlords renting their Detroit homes to some a poor low-income families, not fixing up their home to answer their compliant of preventative maintenances. They just want to collect rent and move on.
5. Real estate brokers selling any Detroit home to low-income families until they can't afford to pay the mortage or city taxes. That will lead to foreclosures.
6. Economic recession causes middle to low-income families to lose their homes in a flash.
7. Arsons and accidental house fires in a particular Detroit ghettohood would lead to urban blight.
Detroit ghettohoods is what it is today due the people who live and dwell in those homes and apartments.
WORD FROM THE STREET PROPHET
If you all can fix Detroit, leave it, move on and leave it someone else.
